Playing a Part: Neurodiversity and Self-discovery in 'Sex and Death'

Depicting the romantic tribulations of an actor who struggles to read social signals, this Melbourne-shot web series offers comic insights into living with autism spectrum disorder. Speaking to writer, director, editor and star Kathleen Lee, Anthony Carew finds links between her own experiences and those of the character she embodies – as well as a creative process suffused with self-realisation.
